Telligent Events - Events from specific calendars/not groups

This question is not answered

The Event widgets we created are not able to pull events from Specific Calendars even though that option is available. Only the pull events from specific group or show all events options work.

Using Telligent 6.1

  • Can you be more specific?  Is there an error?

  • Attached screenshot has details. Note that I have a calendar by name Harward but I cant seem to find when I search it using Pull from Specific Calendar option.

     

  • Have you installed and configured search?  Have you enabled search for calendars?   If calendars are not being indexed or coming back in search then you will not get any results.

  • We have not enabled search functionality. Note that I am not looking to SEARCH any calendar here. I am just trying to configure Event Calendar - Calendar events widget to pull events from specific calendar called Harward Calendar. Note that if I choose Pull from a group option, it does me all group options. Why the option "Pull from Specific Calendar option" would need search enabled when "Pull from a group" option does not need it?

  • I understand, but the calendar side of that configuration box utilizes search to locate calendars, it is not a direct call to the database(I believe groups are).  So if you are not running search then you will not find any calendars

  • It is surprising that one is a database call and another is based on Search. So, if we need to filter the events by Calendar name, is enabling search functionality the only way of doing it ; even if we do not need the search functionality anywhere else in the site.

    Please let us know if there are other options where you can filter the events by Calendar name. Thanks!

  • It is an unsupported configuration to run Telligent Community without search installed.  Many internal platform features rely on search for functionality: reputation, quick post, application lookups to name a few.
